We,  the  undersigned  Trustees,  having  selected  one 
of  the  most  picturesque  spots  of  ground  in  Westchester 
County  for  a  large  Cemetery  for  the  Greater  New  York, 
invite  the  public  in  general  to  inspect  our  grounds  before 
locating.  It  is  conceded  by  those  who  have  built  Tombs, 
Mausoleums  and  Monuments  there,  that  the  same  cost 
makes  twice  the  showing  on  our  slopes  and  mounds,  all 
natural,  than  in  any  other  Cemetery  around  New  York.

THE  AMERICAN  INSTITUTE  OF  THE  CITY  OF  NEW  YORK. 


' '  LoNGwoRTH's  American  Almanac,  New  York  Register,  and  City 
Directory  "  of  1828  is  an  unpretentious  tome,  with  an  apology  from  the 
editor  for  its  appearance  two  days  later  than  usual  (July  15th),  and  an 
explanation  of  an  increase  of  price,  as  the  compilation  involved  great  labor 
with  an  increase  of  3,000  names  over  the  preceding  year.  "The  price 
charged,"  he  states,  "bears  no  proportion  to  the  intrinsic  value  of  the 
book  and  its  great  importance  to  every  man  in  business.  For,  although 
he  may  lament  the  increase  of  population  in  the  city,  yet  this  being  a  cir- 
cumstance which  he  cannot  prevent  and  one  which  must  be  attributed  to 
the  community  at  large,  it  is  but  proper  that  the  public  should  con- 
tribute a  due  portion  of  the  charges  which  thereby  attend  the  execution 
of  the  trust,  which  the  public  pronounce  him  so  competent  to  perform, " 

There  are  31,240  names  including  "  additional  names,  removals  and 
corrections,  which  the  purchaser  is  required  to  make  in  the  body  of  the 
book  with  a  pen. "  The  directory  of  streets  is  dignified  by  the  title  of 
"  Runner's  Vade  Mecum,"  and  the  almanac  with  the  inevitable  accompani- 
ment of  Zodiacal  signs,  runs  until  June,  1829,  as  a  reminder  that  the  next 
volume  might  be  expected  about  that  time. 

The  names  of  some  of  the  streets  would  look  strange  to  the  present 
generation,  and  when  the  numbers  of  the  houses  on  Broadway  end  at  721 
and  Fifth  Street,  and  on  the  Bowery  at  366  and  Fourth  Street,  it  shows  a 
neck-and-neck  race  between  the  two  great  arteries  of  the  city,  while  many 
streets  to-day  familiar  are  mentioned  as  "Not  opened,"  "  Not  built  upon," 
or  "  Nos.  irregular  and  confused." 

There  was  plenty  room  above  Grand  Street  and  the  unpaved  but  pro- 
jected streets  led  to  green  fields  and  "  driving  roads  "  that  extended  "a 
long  distance  to  the  Harlem  River  and  Spuyten  Duyvil,"  and  Westchester 
was  the  farm-land  home  of  many  of  the  Huguenot  families.  Men  who 
were  then  called  wealthy,  lived  down  near  the  Battery,  and  the  Bowling 
Green  centered  a  fashionable  locality,  with  State  Street,  Whitehall  and 
Marketfield  to  be  envied  for  their  grand  outlook  over  the  bay  and  harbor. 
Up  on  the  west  side  two-and-a-half  story  brick  houses  were  considered  the 
proper  thing  and  residents  there  had  the  advantage  of  the  wide  outlook  over 
the  Hudson  and  the  distant  view  of  New  Jersey's  verdant  shores  (to  which 
it  may  be  noted  that  mails  to  Hoboken  and  other  places  were  dispatched 
on  Mondays,  Wednesdays  and  Fridays),  while  on  the  east  side,  up  above 
Market  Street,  many  of  the  best  people  of  the  city  lived  with  their  outlook 
on  the  East  River,  with  Brooklyn  as  a  town  of  great  expectations,  willing  to 
grow  without  stint,  and  willing  to  (sometime)  become  a  part  of  Greater 
New  York,  and  take  Long  Island  into  close  companionship  with  elevated 
roads  and  a  trolley  system,  and  a  bridge  for  the  bracelet  to  band  the  two 
cities  together. 

New  York  in  those  days  was  bounded  by  limits  within  easy  walking 
distance  of  the  Battery,  and  politically,  financially,  and  socially,  the  people 
who  lived  in  it  were  thoughtful  of  its  interests.  The  society  that  gravi- 
tated about  the  Bowling  Green  and  shook  hands  with  its  uptown  friends 
who  lived  in  Park  Place,  had  its  reputation  to  maintain  by  an  eaniest 
gratitude  for  the  good  things  of  the  world  that  came  into  their  possession.

American  Institute  Fair. 

The  financial  magnates  clung  to  the  vicinity  of  Wall  Street,  but  the  bank- 
ing houses  were  without  much  decoration,  and  it  was  not  considered  dan- 
gerous to  the  safety  of  the  vaults  and  the  contents  of  strong-boxes  to  per- 
mit lodgers  in  the  rooms  over  the  banks.  The  merchant  had  no  less  con- 
sideration from  his  friends  because  he  lived  "  over  the  store." 

Up  on  the  Bowery,  where  the  Cooper  Union  now  stands,  was  the  hay- 
scale  neighborhood  and  nearly  opposite,  Vauxhall  Garden  was  a  popular 
resort,  where  the  young  men  ice-creamed  and  sherry-cobblered  their  fair 
ones.  Old  Saint  Paul's,  with  its  Washington  pew  and  its  Revolutionary 
interest,  stood  as  a  guardian  of  the  city's  morals  down  Broadway,  and  the 
second  Trinity  Church,  opposite  Wall  Street,  cast  its  shadows  over 
towards  the  busy  moneymakers,  just  as  the  present  Trinity,  which  was 
commenced  in  1839  and  consecrated  in  1846,  does  to-day.  The  "Brick 
Meeting  House  "  in  Park  Row  was  the  sturdy  evidence  of  early  days  in  the 
growing  city.  St.  George's  Chapel  was  in  Beekman  Street,  and  St.  Mark's, 
away  up  in  Stuyvesant  Street,  had  dignity  to  support  with  the  possible 
future  honor  of  being,  many  years  after  in  this  busy,  bustling  Present,  a 
remembrance  of  the  Past,  with  the  tomb  of  the  good  old  wooden-legged 
Dutch  Governor  of  New  Amsterdam  its  undisputed  legacy  for  years  to 
come. 

The  City  Hotel,  down  Broadway,  just  north  of  Trinity  Church,  was  a 
noted  resort  for  politicians,  financiers,  and  men  of  much  distinction,  and 
there  were  other  noted  hotels  on  Broadway  above  the  Park,  such  as  the 
Broadway  House  at  Grand  Street;  the  United  States  -Hotel,  in  Fulton 
Street,  stood  as  the  sea  captains'  favorite,  and  John  Jacob  Astor  lived 
where  the  present  Astor  House,  opened  in  1836,  now  stands. 

Tea- water  pumps  gave  the  city's  water  supply  and  some  of  them  were 
famous.  The  Manhattan  Water  Works,  with  the  reservoir  on  Chambers 
Street,  between  Broadway  and  Centre,  was  trying  the  unsuccessful  experi- 
ment of  getting  the  water  from  the  pumps  and  sending  it  through  the  city 
in  wooden  pipes,  laying  a  better  foundation  for  its  present  wealth  than 
for  the  pipes  intended  to  convey  the  water ;  and  the  members  of  the  ' '  Fire 
Company,"  comprising  some  of  the  best  old  men  and  nearly  all  of  the 
young  men  of  the  city,  knew  what  pump  to  go  to  when  there  was  a  fire  to 
fight  with  the  old  hand  engine  manned  by  strong-armed  workers  who 
could  throw  a  stream  and  keep  it  up. 

But  all  this  was  sixty-eight  years  ago,  and  the  City  Directory,  which 
now  includes  over  400, 000  names,  tells  the  story  of  what  New  York  has 
grown  to  be  since  Thomas  Long  worth  printed  his  book  in  the  year  that  a 
few  enterprising  gentlemen  met,  in  a  small  room  in  Tammany  Hall  (on  the 
corner  of  Frankfort  and  Chatham  Streets),  and  organized  the  American 
Institute,  for  which  a  charter  was  granted  by  the  Legislature  of  the  State 
of  New  York  under  the  title  of  "The  American  Institute  of  the  City  of 
New  York,"  in  1829,  "  for  the  purpose  of  encouraging  and  promoting 
domestic  industry  in  this  State  and  the  United  States  in  agriculture,  com- 
merce, manufactures  and  arts,  and  any  improvements  made  therein  by 
bestowing  rewards  and  other  benefits  on  those  who  shall  make  any  such 
improvements  and  excel  in  any  of  the  said  branches." 

A  wide  scope  of  usefulness  was  given  the  Institute.  Expectation  was 
the  god-parent,  and  it  started  out  under  the  direction  of  men  who  were 
earnest  and  careful.  Its  first  Fair  was  held  in  Masonic  Hall,  on  Broad- 
way, near  Pearl  Street,  an  imposing  structure  for  1828,  with  small  frame

American  Institute  Fair. 

buildings  next  it  on  both  sides,  and  a  row  of  three-story  brick  houses  com- 
pleting the  block  on  which  it  stood,  almost  half-way  between  the  Battery 
and  the  beginning  of  what  was  then  "  uptown," 

The  first  trustees  and  officers  were:  William  Few,  president;  John 
Mason,  first  vice-president;  Curtis  Bolton,  second  vice-president;  Peter 
H.  Schenck,  third  vice-president ;  Enos  Baldwin,  fourth  vice-president ; 
Anson  Hayden,  fifth  vice-president ;  and  John  B.  Yates  and  John  A. 
Sidell,  secretaries;  with  the  Fair  in  charge  of  an  executive  committee, 
composed  of  Joseph  Blunt,  H.  M.  Solomon,  Thomas  L.  Wells,  Clarkson 
Crolius,  James  Benedict  and  Oliver  D.  Cook,  Jr. 

The  American  Institute  met  with  prompt  encouragement  from  manu- 
facturers and  inventors.  They  made  good  exhibits,  for  there  were  prizes 
to  be  won  by  healthy  competition.  The  Institute  had  opened  the  doors  to 
advancement  and  enterprise  and  many  States  were  represented  in  that 
first  Fair  held  at  Masonic  Hall.  New  England  was  strong  on  her  cottons 
and  woolens.  New  York  made  a  splendid  display,  and  New  Jersey  and  the 
South  also  sent  exhibits. 

And  the  Fair  was  a  good  starter  to  the  success  that  has  carried  the 
American  Institute  through  its  many  exhibitions  from  the  little  building 
in  lower  Broadway  to  its  Sixty-fifth  Fair,  in  1896,  at  Madison  Square  Garden 

But  not  only  in  its  Fairs  did  the  American  Institute  make  its  influence 
permanently  felt. 

Monthly  meetings  were  held  in  Clinton  Hall,  then  located  in  Beekman 
Street,  opposite  the  Brick  Church  property,  and  a  room  wa^  hired  in  Lib- 
erty Street  for  its  business.  The  transactions  of  the  American  Institute 
find  place  in  the  popular  libraries  and  many  of  the  most  distinguished  men 
of  the  time  took  part  in  its  debates,  and  in  1834  it  removed  to  41  Cortlandt 
Street,  remaining  two  years  in  its  parlors  and  then,  needing  better 
accommodations,  it  occupied  the  first  floor  at  187  Broadway,  opposite  John 
Street,  where  there  was  room  for  its  library  and  for  a  repository  of  models 
that  had  been  established. 

But  the  American  Institute  had  planted  both  feet  with  a  stubborn  hold 
on  popularity,  and  determined  to  stand  there.  It  had  grown  in  impor- 
tance, and  its  membership  included  noted  men  in  every  branch  of  art, 
science  and  industry.  The  encouragement  which  was  its  doctrine  of  duty 
had  been  a  help  to  many  people,  and  committees  representing  the  Ameri- 
can Institute  had  been  formed  in  several  counties  of  the  State,  thus  bring- 
ing to  the  front  the  agricultural  element  which  needed  support,  and  had 
even  a  wider  fleld  for  work  than  some  of  the  finer  mechanical  arts .  Agri- 
culture became  an  art,  with  the  Institute  to  aid  the  tiller  of  the  soil  by 
awards  of  merit  and  medals  of  excellence  and  superiority. 

While  its  Fairs  were  becoming  the  certainty  of  good  accomplishments, 
its  agricultural  importance  was  maintained,  and  the  exhibitions  of  cattle, 
the  trials  of  speed  in  plowing,  and  other  contests,  made  it  famous.  The 
announcement  in  1845  for  the  "Convention  of  Farmers,  Gardeners  and 
Silk  Culturists,"  and  the  holding  of  the  Cattle  Show  on  the  ground 
between  Twenty-third  and  Twenty-fourth  Streets,  Fifth  Avenue,  and 
plowing  and  speeding  matches  as  usual,  with  headquarters  for  the  managers 
and  committees  at  the  Madison  Cottage,  sounds  like  a  rumbling  from  the 
Past,  when  read  to-day.  » 

The  Institute  soon  needed  more  space,  and  next,  by  consent  of 
the  city,  until  such  time  as  the  room  might  be  required  for  other  puri)oses,

it  moved  to  an  unused  court  room  in  the  old  Alms  House  Building  in  the 
City  Hall  Park  until  1848,  when  the  city  officials  required  the  room.  Tem- 
porary headquarters  were  secured  at  o83  Broadway,  the  library  being  stored 
elsewhere.  The  Institute  soon  after  purchased  the  building,  351  Broadway, 
with  the  first  floor  used  by  the  officers  and  a  meeting  room  for  members 
and  the  Clubs  (the  Farmers',  organized  while  the  Institute  was  in  Cort- 
landt  Street  in  1843,  and  the  Mechanics'  Club,  formed  originally  under  the 
name  of  Conversational  Meetings,  presided  over  by  Prof.  James  J.  Mapes) ; 
the  second  floor  for  library  and  reading-room,  and  the  third  floor  for 
the  models. 

Next,  in  1859,  under  inducements  from  Mr.  Peter  Cooper,  the  Insti- 
tute located  in  the  Cooper  Union,  remaining  there  until  1885  when,  exten- 
sive alterations  being  in  progress  at  the  Union,  the  Institute  moved  over 
into  Clinton  Hall  in  Astor  Place  (once  known  as  the  Astor  Place  Opera 
House,  and  the  scene  of  the  Macready  riot  in  1849),  until  1890,  when  the 
building  was  torn  down  and  the  Institute  removed  to  its  present  rooms, 
Nos.  111-115  West  Thirty -eight  Street,  where  its  offices  and  library  are  now 
located,  and  the  meetings  of  the  Farmers'  Club  and  educational  Sections 
are  held. 

The  Annual  Fairs  were  held  at  Masonic  Hall  until  1834,  when  the  trend 
of  improvement  went  toward  "uptown,"  and  in  determining  upon  the 
selection  of  Niblo's  Garden,  the  line  of  old-fashioned,  rumbling  "stages,' 
which  ran  on  Broadway  from  the  Battery  to  Bond  Street,  at  the  charge  of 
a  York  shilling  for  fare,  or  "  three  for  a  quarter  "  was  duly  considered. 

Street  car  travel  had  been  encouraged  since  1831,  when  John  Stephen- 
son, who  occupied  premises  in  Elizabeth  Street  for  his  factory,  built  the 
first  street  car  in  this  country  and  it  was  run  on  the  Bowery  in  connection 
with  the  business  of  the  Harlem  Railroad  Company,  whose  engines  ran 
down  to  Fourteenth  Street. 

The  picture  of  the  car  named  after  John  Mason,  then  President  of  the 
Harlem  Railroad,  shows  a  peculiar  vehicle.  The  idea  was  a  combination 
of  three  coach  bodies,  each  with  seats  facing  each  other,  the  whole  being 
hung  on  leather  springs,  somewhat  in  the  post-coach  style.  The  driver's 
seat  was  on  top. 

Contrast  with  the  cars  of  to-day,  turned  out  by  the  John  Stephenson 
Company's  works  in  Twenty-seventh  Street  where  the  venerable  car 
builder  labored  until  his  death  in  1893,  and  the  Great  City's  hundreds  of

The  above  business  card  of  our  house,  as  well  as  the  historical  circular  presented  at 
our  1896  exhibit,  printed  in  the  exact  form  as  when  distributed  at  the  American  Institute 
Fair  in  1855  at  the  Crystal  Palace,  which  building  is  represented  on  the  opposite  page,  will, 
we  trust,  bring  pleasing  recollections  to  many  of  our  early  and  more  recent  customers  in 
New  York  and  vicinity,  who  have  not  only  used  and  appreciated  our  original  parlor  beds, 
with  improvements  kept  well  in  advance  of  the  times  since  1853,  but  have  also  availed 
themselves  of  the  far  greater  range  of  our  original  designs,  reliable  constructions,  and 
careful  selections  in  all  the  lines  of  fine  artistic  house  furnishing. 

Two  years  prior  to  exhibiting  our  first  construction  of  parlor  beds  at  Crystal  Palace, 
they  had  been  patented  in  England  and  France  and  had  established  an  international 
record  for  novelty  and  mechanical  merit,  besides  being  placed  on  exhibition  at  different 
State  and  other  fairs,  invariably  receiving  the  highest  awards  and  public  approval. 

We  wish,  however,  to  call  particular  attention  to  and  give  full  credit  for  the  oppor- 
tunity of  showing  great  durability  and  the  practical  results  derived  from  exhibiting  at  the 
American  Institute  Fair  of  1855,  1856,  1857,  and  Fair  of  1858  until  October  5th,  when  the 
Crystal  Palace  and  contents,  including  our  Secretary  Bedsteads,  together  with  patent 
papers,  medals,  diplomas  and  other  awards  were  all  destroyed  by  fire. 

The  Secretary  bed  thus  destroyed  had  been  operated  continuously  at  the  above  fairs 
for  more  than  one  hundred  days,  thus  subjecting  its  working  parts  to  more  wear  than 
would  be  occasioned  by  a  century  of  daily  changes. 

It  was  during  the  progress  of  the  above  severe  test  of  durability  that  we  and  our 
customers  derived  benefit  from  our  being  convinced  that  without  warranting  our  beds 
against  wear,  as  above,  of  all  kinds,  we  could  afford  to  keep  the  working  parts  in  repair 
free  of  any  charge  whatever,  and  this  plan  of  doing  reasonable  repairs  to  all  of  the  goods 
manufactured  and  sold  by  us  has  proved  very  satisfactory  to  our  patrons  as  well  as  to 
ourselves,  and  it  gives  us  pleasure  to  state  that  for  all  repairs,  exchanges  and  other  favors 
shown  for  more  than  forty  years  past,  we  have  received  liberal  recompense  by  our  cus- 
tomers recommending  our  reliable  and  artistic  goods  to  their  friends,  thus  helping  us  to  a 
very  desirable  patronage. 

We  further  wish  to  give  due  credit  to  the  American  Institute  Fairs  for  bringing  us  new 
customers  who  can  appreciate  well  designed  and  well  made  goods  with  lasting  artistic 
merits,  and  we  are  always  pleased  to  give  new  as  well  as  former  customers  reasonable 
credit  should  they  desire.

circular,  and  visit  our  warerooms,  Plimpton  Building,  opposite  Ninth  Street  elevated  station.

thousands  of  hurrying  travellers  whisking  around  curves  on  the  cable 
roads  with  a  "  Hold  fast!  "  injunction  from  the  conductors,  is  no  discredit 
to  the  car  that  was  used  on  the  Bowery  sixty-five  years  ago.  with  not  so 
much  elegance  in  its  fittings,  but  quite  as  much  comfort  and  safety  to  its 
passengers. 

Notwithstanding  the  expressed  fear  that  Prince  Street  was  too  far 
away  from  the  city's  centre,  the  Fairs  were  a  success  there,  and  until 
1846,  when  Niblo's  was  burned  in  September,  and  the  Fair  was  held  in 
Castle  Garden  at  the  Battery,  the  extreme  of  "  downtown,"  when  again 
a  fear  was  expressed  by  some  that  it  was  too  far  away  from  the  residential 
district  to  command  fashionable  audiences. 

Fashion  did  go  down  to  Castle  Garden  and  the  Battery.  It  enjoyed 
the  superb  water  view,  had  its  flirtation  corners  on  the  balconies,  and 
many  wagers  were  made  by  the  ladies  upon  the  result  of  the  regattas  that 
were  given  under  the  direction  of  the  managers  of  the  Fair.  The  famous 
Whitehall  boatmen  contested  for  silver  medals  and  diplomas,  and  in  1846 
silver  medals  were  won  by  the  crew  of  the  "Monterey  "  for  fast  rowing  in 
a  twenty-five  foot  boat,  the  "Metamoras"  being  beaten;  while  the  crew  of 
the  "  Rough  and  Ready  "  won  a  silver  medal  with  their  thirty-foot  boat, 
and  a  medal  was  also  won  by  William  Wood  and  William  Hiler  for  good 
rowing  in  the  scull-boat  "Whitehall,"  time,  thirty-seven  minutes  from 
Castle  Garden  around  Bedlow's  Island  and  back,  and  the  crew  of  the 
"George  Washington"  got  their  silver  medal  for  best  rowing  against  time 
from  Castle  Garden  around  Bedlow's  Island  and  back  in  twenty-nine 
minutes. 

But  popularity  belonged  to  the  American  Institute.  With  advantages 
of  the  large  exhibition  hall,  the  splendid  situation  of  Castle  Garden,  and 
the  great  interest  taken  in  the  exhibitions,  it  proved  the  magnet  that  made 
the  Fairs  important  and  successful  until  1854,  when  the  Exhibition  of  the 
Industry  of  All  Nations  being  held  in  the  Crystal  Palace,  on  Reservoir 
Square,  Sixth  Avenue,  between  Fortieth  and  Forty-second  Streets,  the 
Institute  gave  no  general  Fair,  but  united  with  the  State  Agricultural 
Society  in  giving  an  exhibition  at  Hamilton  Square,  Third  Avenue  and 
Sixty-ninth  Street.  What  more  fitting  in  location  for  the  American  Insti- 
tute Fair  than  the  Crystal  Palace  ? 

After  the  close  of  the  Industrial  Exhibition  there  in  1854,  the  Institute 
secured  the  building  for  the  Fair  in  1855,  and  continued  until  1858,  when  the 
immense  structure  and  all  its  contents  was  destroyed  by  fire  on  the  after- 
noon of  October  3d,  during  the  progress  of  the  Fair,  the  conflagration  being 
attributed  to  incendiaries. 

The  heavy  loss  to  the  Institute  and  its  exhibitors  was  somewhat  dis- 
heartening, but  exhibitors  were  enthusiastic,  the  managers  were  confident, 
and  in  1859  and  1860,  the  Palace  Garden,  on  Fourteenth  Street,  between 
Sixth  and  Seventh  Avenues,  was  used  for  the  Fair .  The  exhibition  in 
1861  was  given  at  the  Institute  Rooms  in  Cooper  Union.  There  was  no 
public  exhibition  in  1862.  In  1863  the  Fair  was  held  in  the  Academy  of  ^lusic 
in  Fourteenth  Street  and  Irving  Place ;  in  1864  the  Horticultural  Exhibition 
was  held  in  the  Institute  Rooms  at  Cooper  Union,  under  direction  of  the  Hor- 
ticultural Association  ;  in  1865  the  Twenty-second  Regiment  Armory  on  Four- 
teenth Street  near  Sixth  Avenue  was  used  for  the  Fair.  In  1S66  an  exhi- 
bition of  flowers,  fruits  and  vegetables  was  held  in  the  Institute  Rooms  at 
Cooper  Union ;  in  1867  the  Fair  was  held  at  the  Twenty-second  Regiment

CLINTON  HALL— ASTOR  PLACE. 

Armory.  No  exhibition  was  given  in  1868,  and  in  1869  the  Institute 
secured  the  building  known  as  the  Empire  Skating  Rink,  on  Third 
Avenue,  between  Sixty-third  and  Sixty-fourth  Streets,  added  other  build- 
ings extending  to  Second  Avenue,  and  until  1892,  when  the  structure  was 
demolished  and  the  lease  of  the  property  given  up,  the  Fairs  were  held  in 
the  familiar  American  Institute  Hall. 

With  all  these  changes  of  locality  in  the  span  of  years  from  1828  to 
1892,  the  Institute  held  its  place  in  the  affection  of  the  people.  It  had 
been  organized  by  thrifty  minded  men,  familiar  with  the  commercial 
affairs  and  with  the  progress  of  American  industry,  and  its  list  of 
presidents  show : 

William  Few,  1828-29;  John  Mason,  1830-31;  James  Tallmadge,  1832 
to  1845,  and  again  in  1848,  serving  until  1853,  when  he  died  while  holding 
office;  Mahlon  Dickerson,  1846-47;  Robert  L.  Pell,  1854-58;  James  Ren- 
wick,  1859;  William  Hall,  1860-65;  Horace  Greeley,  1866-70;  William  B. 
Ogden,  1871  ;F.  A.  P.  Barnard,  1872-73;  Orestes  Cleveland,  1874-77; 
Nathan  C.  Ely,  1878-82;  Cyrus  H.  Loutrel,  1883-85;  Thomas  Rutter, 
1886-88;  J.  Trumbull  Smith,  1889  96. 

Space  does  not  permit  special  mention  of  the  many  distinguished 
people  prominent  in  the  government  and  counsels  of  the  American  Insti- 
tute. In  every  department  of  invention  and  manufacture,  the  noted  men 
of  the  time  each  took  his  share  of  work  and  honor.  Its  patrons  were 
untiring  workers;  its  Fairs  were  under  the  control  of  experienced 
managers;  its  judges  were  selected,  as  now,  with  special  fitness  for  their 
duties,  and  the  long  list  of  awards  each  year  shows  that  the  American 
Institute  medal  is  valued  by  those  who  win  it.

American  Institute  Fair. 


General  James  Tallmadge  from  the  time  of  his  first  election  in  1832, 
and  during  his  twenty  years  of  service  as  President,  had  a  steady 
hand  upon  the  wheel  of  the  Institute.  Endowed  with  resistless  energy 
and  persistence  in  quiet  methods  for  the  advancement  of  the  Institute, 
the  members  looked  with  confidence  for  the  future  that  should 
make  its  success  remarkable  and  enduring.  Under  his  investigations,  the 
silk  manufacture  and  raising  of  silk  worms,  that  had  become  important  at 
Masillon,  Ohio,  was  recognized  as  an  industry  involving  heavy  resources, 
and  enlisting  the  attention  of  capitalists  in  the  East,  and,  through  the 
influence  of  the  Institute,  the  first  direct  information  as  to  the  business 
was  sent  broadcast.  Exhibits  made  at  Niblo's  Garden  in  1839  were  most 
interesting,  and  in  the  following  year  Burt  &  Loomis,  inventors  from 
Manchester,  Conn.,  won  a  gold  medal  for  the  best  machine  for  reeling 
from  the  cocoon  and  spinning  for  sewing  at  one  operation,  and  Aaron 
Clarke,  of  Greenwich,  Conn.,  received  a  silver  medal  for  valuable 
improvements  on  the  siik  reel. 

Thaddeus  B.  Wakeman,  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Institute,  served 
as  Corresponding  Secretary,  beginning  in  1829,  for  eighteen  years,  dying 
in  1848,  and  the  services  rendered  were  so  much  regarded  that  the  Insti- 
tute erected  a  monument  to  his  memory  in  Greenwood  Cemetery. 

Hon.  Henry  Meigs,  always  active  in  the  affairs  of  the  Institute,  was 
a  hard  worker,  and  its  Recording  Secretary  for  seventeen  years,  from 
1845  to  1861. 

Clarkson  Crolius,  Peter  H.  Schenck,  James  Benedict,  Curtis  Bolton, 
Enos  Baldwin,  Joseph  Blunt,  Thomas  M.  Adriance,  Thomas  Bridgeman, 
Adoniram  Chandler,  Joseph  Curtis,  Robert  M.  Hoe,  George  C.  DeKay,

Mason,  W.  P.  Disosway,  Andrew  Williams,  James  Hamilton,  Edward 
Walker,  James  Van  Norden,  Philip  Schuyler,  Sheppard  Knapp,  George 
Endicott,  were,  in  the  early  days,  identified  with  the  American  Institute 
and  its  projects. 

John  W.  Chambers,  who  became  Clerk  of  the  Institute  in  1834  and 
Secretary  of  the  Board  of  Managers  in  1851,  was  a  familiar  and  loved 
presence  to  thousands  of  friends  of  the  Institute,  his  service  being  con- 
tinuous for  fifty-nine  years,  until  his  death  in  1893. 

Charles  Wager  Hull,  elected  to  the  Board  of  Managers  in  1866,  and  who 
became  General  Superintendent  in  1873,  holding  that  office  at  the  time  of 
his  death  in  July,  1895,  was,  for  twenty-nine  years,  a  most  valued 
ofiicer.  The  estimation  by  his  associates,  through  years  of  hard  work 
and  much  anxiety,  endeared  him  to  everyone,  and  his  executive  ability 
and  keen  judgment  were  recognized  factors  in  the  Institute's  best 
achievements. 

Passing  over  the  periods  that  bring  the  American  Institute  to 
the  present,  a  consideration  of  the  fulfilment  of  its  hopes  may  be  in  order. 
The  hopes  of  its  projectors  have  been  realized  in  its  giving  substantial  aid 
in  the  development  of  the  products  of  American  industry.  It  is  not  a 
money-making  institution;  has  no  stockholders;  is  governed  by  its 
Board  of  Trustees ;  pays  taxes  on  its  property ;  has  but  a  limited  appro- 
priation from  the  State  as  the  Agricultural  Society  of  the  County  of  New 
York,  and  is  accountable  to  the  State  for  all  it  does,  for  all  that  it  holds 
and  owns.

TT'ASY  to  put  the  mop  in  ;  easy  to  take  it 
out  again  ;  the  mop  is  tightly  cinched 
to  its  place  by  means  of  the  rust-proof  thumb- 
nut,  easy  to  turn  ;  the  long  handle  saves 
stooping,  and,  being  of  hard  wood  (ash),  it  is 
practically  unbreakable. 

One  Cinchbar  Mopstick  will  outlast  a 
dozen  ordinary  mopsticks,  and  it  is  more 
satisfactory  in  every  way  ;  in  fact,  the  "Cinch- 
bar" is  the  most  durable,  economical,  and 
reliable  Mopstick  in  the  market.  You  need 
it  to  clean  wooden  floors,  oil  cloth,  linoleum, 
and  tiles,  and  to  go  over  carpets  after  sweep- 
ing, to  wipe  up  the  dust  that  settles  down. 

The  Cinchbar  Mopstick  will  accommo- 
date any  of  the  factory-made  mops,  or  any 
cloth  of  sufficient  size  and  thickness  to  be 
used  as  a  mop.

American  Institute  Fair. 

It  gives  awards  to  deserving  people— none  for  mere  favoritism.  There 
is  no  influence  in  an  award  but  merit,  and  the  American  Institute  medal 
is  proudly  held  in  estimation,  whether  it  be  bronze,  silver,  or  gold. 

The  changes  that  time,  and  locality,  and  the  enlargement  in  business 
during  all  these  years  have  wrought  in  methods  have  made  changes  in  the 
Institute  Fairs. 

There  is  a  contrast  between  the  Fairs  of  two  or  three  decades  ago 
and  what  one  finds  in  the  recent  exhibitions,  and  the  kindly  faced  old 
gentleman  who  became  a  member  of  the  Institute  when  both  he  and  it 
were  younger,  may  miss  some  of  the  farming  utensils,  the  reaper,  the 
printing  press,  and  many  of  the  exhibits  which  he  loved  to  look  at.  And 
the  younger  people  humor  his  fancy,  but  miss  nothing. 

Things  change  as  the  years  go  round,  and  people  change  with  the 
aspect  of  the  city  which  we  live  in.  The  New  York  of  more  than  half  a 
century  ago  would  hold  its  quilted  petticoat  aside  from  contact  with  the 
flowing  drapery  of  the  modern  Mistress  Manhattan,  and  might  look  with 
suspicion  upon  the  elevated  railway,  and  wonder  at  the  progress  of  the 
cable  car.  with  the  "grip"  running  in  the  slot.  Castle  Garden  looms  up 
again,  thanks  to  the  removal  of  the  emigrant  depot  over  to  Ellis  Island, 
and  Castle  Garden  seems  a  link  between  that  Past  and  this  Present,  take 
it  for  all  in  all.  There  is  still  about  it  some  of  the  memories  of  the 
American  Institute  Fairs— minus  the  covered  walk  from  mainland  to 
fortress,  and  the  row-boats  passing  beneath  the  bridge,  as  shown  in  an 
edition  of  a  little  paper  called  The  Island  City,  framed  and  kept  as  a 
souvenir,  at  the  rooms  of  the  Institute,  in  West  Thirty-eight  Street. 

There  are  no  longer  green  fields  and  shady  lanes  so  near  at  hand  that 
the  cattle  and  the  plows  and  all  the  implements  of  the  farm  may  be 
shown.  The  county  fair  has  taken  its  place  as  the  camping  ground  for 
the  reapers,  and  the  threshers,  and  the  labor-saving  improvements,  and 
the  Institute  does  not  get  them  as  they  used  to. 

But  the  manufacturers  know  that  the  famous  McCormick  reaper 
made  its  exhibit  at  Castle  Garden  in  '49,  and  won  a  gold  medal  for  "The 
Virginia  Grain  Reaper."  And  that  gold  medal  is  held  as  a  precious  tribute 
to  inventions  forty -seven  years  ago. 

In  the  way  of  the  world,  perhaps  some  of  the  present  generation 
might  not  care  to  inquire  just  what  the  Island  City  was  in  1828,  but  much 
may  be  learned  by  referring  to  the  transactions  of  the  Institute,  that  are 
valued  among  the  records  of  the  State.  And  it  may  be  well  to  remember 
also  that  to  the  American  Institute  belongs  the  credit  of  persistent  peti- 
tioning the  Legislature  to  create  "  The  Natural  History  of  the  State  of  New 
York,"  of  which  the  reports  in  the  twenty -two  quarto  volumes  published 
are  lasting  memorials  to  the  success  of  efforts  inaugurated  and  maintained 
by  the  American  Institute. 

But  the  grandfathers  of  the  present  generation  knew  just  what  the 
American  Institute  was,  and  they  have  sat  in  their  old-fashioned  heirloom 
chairs,  telling  over  the  story  of  old  times,  and  weaving  the  texture  of 
reminiscence,  which  might  be  well-worn,  but  was  never  flimsy. 

Looking  back,  then,  to  the  first  Fair  held  in  1S28.  the  record  of 
advancement  of  industry,  science  and  invention  is  embodied  in  that  of  the 
American  Institute,  and  the  long  list  of  inventions  perfected  and  gener- 
ally adopted  as  necessities  which  first  found  encouragement  and  promi- 
nence in  the  American  Institute  Fairs,  is  really  the  list  of  what  to  day  is

American  Institute  Fair. 

no  longer  an  absolute  novelty,  but  familiar  to  everybody,  young  or  old. 

And  it  is  well  enough  to  remember  that  in  the  start  made  in  the 
American  Institute  Fairs,  much  that  to-day  makes  its  own  history  is  again 
under  the  auspices  of  the  Institute,  and  is  only  an  improvement  on  some 
thing  shown  when  New  York  was  many  years  younger  than  it  is  now. 
Grandmother  has  watched  her  granddaughter  at  the  sewing  machine  of 
recent  years,  and  perhaps  sighed  at  the  change  from  the  good  old  days 
of  the  quilting-bee  and  knitting-meeting  when  there  was  time  for  gossip 
between  the  stitches. 

When  the  sewing  machine  was  first  exhibited  in  the  American  Insti- 
tute Fair,  it  was  looked  upon  as  an  aggressive  invention,  intending  to  take 
work  from  women's  hands.  But  it  won  a  gold  medal,  and  the  gold  medal 
was  deserved,  and  the  sewing  machine  of  to-day  does  its  work  all  over  the 
world.  It  aids  in  the  household,  it  gives  women  work  in  the  factory,  and 
while  it  clicks  away  at  lightning  speed,  it  runs  more  quietly  than  it  did 
when  first  shown  at  the  American  Institute  Fairs  and  was  regarded  with 
suspicion. 

The  machine  for  which  Elias  Howe  filed  a  model  in  the  Patent  Office  in 
1846,  the  Wilson  machine  filed  in  1850,  the  Singer  in  1851,  and  the  Wheeler 
in  1853,  all  made  their  mark,  and  the  encouragement  of  the  Institute  given 
to  the  Singer  by  its  gold  medal  in  1851  has  never  been  disregarded  in  its 
effect  of  value. 

The  foundations  of  many  fortunes  were  laid  in  the  American  Institute 
Fair  where  the  inventor  sought  recognition,  and  in  1837,  Samuel  Colt,  of 
Paterson,  N.  J. ,  won  a  gold  medal  for  the  best  specimen  of  many  cham- 
bered cylinder  rifles,  and  in  1842,  while  the  same  Samuel  Colt  was  making 
exhibits  of  fire-arms  in  Niblo's  Garden,  the  managers  of  the  Fair 
arranged  for  an  experiment  with  a  marine  torpedo  invented  by  him, 
showing  how  a  vessel  could  be  blown  up.  A  craft  obtained  for  the  pur- 
pose and  anchored  at  a  safe  distance  from  the  Battery,  was  destroyed  by 
a  torpedo,  fired  by  electricity  from  Castle  Garden,  and  another  wonder 
entered  in  the  catalogue  of  achievements  be  credited  to  the  encouragement 
of  the  American  Institute. 

The  printing  press,  which  to-day  is  indispensable  in  the  march  of  civi- 
lization and  accomplishment,  received  its  early  recognition  in  this  country 
at  the  American  Institute  Fairs,  and  in  1848,  Richard  M.  Hoe  received  a 
gold  medal  at  the  exhibition  at  Castle  Garden  for  his  type-revolving  press, 
while  in  1841,  during  the  Fair  at  Niblo's  Garden,  he  had  been  awarded  the 
silver  medal  for  a  double  power  printing  press,  and  the  model  which  is 
exhibited  in  the  Fair  of  1896,  representing  the  sextuple  machine,  may  be 
justly  regarded  as  typical  of  the  great  advancement  of  American  inven- 
tion and  skill  which  derived  its  impetus  from  the  press  that  worked  and 
astonished  people  down  at  Castle  Garden  nearly  half  a  century  ago. 

The  first  anthracite  coal  burning  stove  for  which  Dr.  Nott  was 
famous,  gained  its  notoriety  under  the  auspices  of  the  American  Institute. 
And  the  first  exhibitions  of  Morse's  telegraph,  which  were  given  at  one  of 
the  Fairs  at  Niblo's  Garden,  where  the  wires  were  strung  around  the  build- 
ing, and  the  messages  sent  and  received,  amazed  the  visitors,  and  won  its 
notoriety  and  recognition  through  the  men  interested  in  the  American  Insti- 
tute, and  ever  ready  to  aid  an  inventor.  But  to-day,  as  the  busy  fingers  of 
the  telegraphers  up  in  the  Western  Union  Building  touch  the  key  and  send 
the  messages  that  move  the  wheels  of  trade,  and  wire  ruin  or  fortune  to 
the  men  playing  upon  the  checker-board  of  finance,  or  flash  the  intensely

awaited  message  of  love  or  sorrow  over  the  thousands  of  miles  of  wire, 
the  operators  little  think  of  the  exhibit  made  by  Morse  at  Niblo's  Garden. 

The  stocking-loom,  then  an  invention  of  household  importance,  was 
encouraged  by  the  offering  of  a  gold  medal  by  the  American  Institute.  And 
the  loom  came,  and  the  dainty  ankledlady  could  weave  her  own  hose,  if 
she  chose,  faster  than  in  times  of  yore,  when  love-words  were  whispered 
while  deft  fingers  plied  the  needles,  and  the  bashful  suitor  leaned  in  expec- 
tancy over  the  old-fashioned  half-door.  But  the  half-doors  are  no  longer 
visible,  and  the  lady  of  the  present  day  does  not  undertake  to  knit  her  own 
hosiery,  and  the  dainty  ankle,  with  its  silken  hose,  holds  its  gratitude  to 
the  stocking-loom,  which  was  exhibited  in  the  American  Institute. 

The  telephone,  which  has  conquered  time  and  distance  by  auric- 
ular communication  and  is  beating  the  telegraph  in  convenience  and 
speed,  was  first  shown  to  the  public  at  the  American  Institute  Fair  in  the 
building  on  Third  Avenue.  The  story  is  told  of  how,  in  the  place  allotted 
to  the  exhibit,  where  a  number  of  receivers  were  placed  with  their  trans- 
mitters, the  wires  communicating  with  a  room  of  the  Tribune  Building, 
an  honest  old  gentleman,  for  many  years  a  member  of  the  Institute,  claimed 
that  the  whole  thing  was  a  fraud,  and  absolutely  required  that  the  floor 
beneath  the  exhibit  should  be  taken  up  to  show  that  there  was  nobody  in 
the  cellar  talking  through  the  hole  in  the  box.  He  apologized  when  there 
happened  to  be  a  little  less  than  three  feet  between  the  floor  and  terra- 
firma. 

Away  back  in  1839,  a  gold  medal  was  given  for  the  lifeboat  exhibited 
as  the  invention  of  Joseph  Francis,  an  invention  which  is  recognized  all 
over  the  world  as  one  of  the  most  important.  They  who  go  down  to 
the  sea  in  ships  may  not  know  that  the  boat  which  gives  safety  in  event 
of  accident,  and  w^hich  in  its  perfection  has  been  recognized  at  home  and 
abroad,  was  first  shown  at  Niblo's  Garden,  and  when  set  afloat  off  the 
Battery,  that  the  judges  might  consider  the  matter  of  the  award  to  be  given, 
hundreds  of  people  expected  to  see  it  sink,  and  were  surprised  when, 
loaded  nearly  to  the  gunwale,  it  carried  its  freight  in  safety,  and  seemed 
as  light  to  pull  by  skilful  oarsmen  as  the  Whitehall  boats  clustered  around 
the  scene  of  the  experiment.  The  recognition  of  the  invention  of  the  cor- 
rugated metallic  lifeboat  and  life-saving  appliances  was  made  by  Congress 
under  the  petition  by  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  and  the  American  Insti- 
tute, and  a  vote  of  thanks  was  given  in  1888,  and  a  gold  medal  ordered  to

be  struck.  A  fac-simile  of  the  medal,  executed  in  bronze,  was  presented  to 
the  American  Institute  in  May,  1894,  by  Isaac  P.  Francis,  in  behalf  of  his 
late  father,  Joseph  Francis,  who  died  in  May,  1893,  in  his  ninety  third  year. 

Naval  architecture  always  held  its  own  in  the  American  Institute 
Fairs,  as  the  models  of  vessels  which  were  exhibited,  and  which  passed 
under  the  eyes  of  such  judges  as  George  Steers,  Cornelius  Vanderbilt, 
William  H.  Webh.  C.  R.  Poillion,  John  Englis  and  others,  were  remark- 
able for  their  beauty  of  construction.  To  many  of  these  medals  were 
awarded,  and  in  1851  George  Steers  received  a  gold  medal  for  the  model 
of  the  yacht  ' '  America, "  the  boat  that  carried  the  American  flag  to 
victory  after  the  Queen's  Cup  in  August  of  that  year. 

The  early  steamships  which  made  the  trip  from  New  York  to  Europe 
had  their  models  shown  in  the  Institute,  and  while  in  those  days  it  could 
scarcely  be  called  an  ocean  ferry,  the  Transatlantic  service  found  recogni- 
tion among  the  visitors  to  the  Institute  in  discussing  the  probabilities  of 
what  next  year's  Fair  might  bring  forth  in  the  way  of  a  model.  And  those 
models  came,  year  after  year,  until  now  they  have  no  place  in  the  Institute 
Fair,  for  the  ships  that  fly  across  the  sea  are  built  with  such  rapidity  and 
the  trip  across  is  regarded  as  so  small  a  venture  that  the  yachtsmen  of 
to-day  may  even  take  a  small  vessel,  but  none  more  seaworthy  than  the 
old  "America,"  upon  whose  model  George  Steers  obtained  a  medal. 

We  may  give  the  early  American  Institute  Fairs  all  reverence  that  is 
due  them,  and  recognize  that  the  changes  of  time  and  manner  of  doing 
business  make  the  Institute  Fair  of  to-day  somewhat  different  from  what 
it  used  to  be  when  the  contests  between  the  inventors  of  farming  imple- 
ments were  matters  of  a  special  interest,  and  there  was  room  enough  for 
the  cattle  shows  and  the  plowing,  and  an  abundance  of  ground  that 
could  be  utilized  for  big  show  purposes. 

With  all  this,  there  are  features  of  the  American  Institute  peculiar  to 
itself,  and  it  stands  now,  as  it  has  always  stood,  ready  to  acknowledge 
the  best  inventions  and  to  give  encouragement  due  the  inventors. 

It  keeps  up  its  prestige  with  its  reading-rooms  and  its  library  located 
in  West  38th  Street,  and  its  Sections  have  their  regular  meetings,  presided 
over  by  men  of  acknowledged  ability  and  who  are  enthusiastic  in  their 
work.  The  Farmers'  Club,  under  the  direction  of  the  Committee  on  Agri- 
culture; the  Polytechnic,  under  the  direction  of  the  Committee  on  Manu- 
facture and  Machinery,  which  discusses  scientific  subjects  and  examinations 
of  new  inventions,  etc. ,  and  is  really  the  Mechanics'  Club  of  the  old  days 
under  a  new  name ;  the  Photographical  Section,  under  the  direction  of  the 
Committee  on  Chemistry  and  Optics,  and  the  Electrical  Section,  under  the 
direction  of  the  Committee  on  Electricity,  are  all  part  of  the  working  of 
the  American  Institute,  with  their  meetings  held  regularly,  and  the  dis- 
cussions open  to  everyone  interested  in  advancement  and  education. 

The  Institute  of  1828,  with  all  its  helpfulness  intended  to  be  given,  is 
the  Institute  of  1896.  That  helpfulness  has  been  extended  and  its  influence 
felt  for  many  years.  In  presenting  its  Sixty- fifth  Fair  in  its  pre.^enr 
surroundings  and  bringing  together  so  much  of  beauty  and  invention,  it 
simply  asks  of  the  public  that  it  shall  be  remembered  as  an  old  friend  and 
to  be  always  welcomed  as  old  friends  ought  to  be  when  they  bring  with 
them  the  pleasant  remembrances  of  the  Past,  and  are  hale  and  hearty 
and  earnest  in  the  Present,  with  a  Future  to  be  accomplished  without  fear 
of  any  lack  of  encouragement,  since  it  has  been  earned  by  hard  work, 
through  many  years  of  service.

Mapl^^'  Artificial  Limb^  With  Rnbhep  Haqd^  and  Feet 

are:  thej  bbj^tt. 

BECAUSE— They  are  the  most  comfortable  to  wear.   They  are  fitted  upon  scientific  princi- 
ples by  competent  and  skilled  fitters. 
Glen  Springs.  S  C— I  received  the  artificial  leg  w^hich  you  made  for  me,  and  commenced 
using  it  on  the  13th  of  the  same  month.   I  must  say  that  it  fits  the  best  of  any  artificial  leg 
I  have  ever  had.— S.  S.  BEARDON. 

BECAUSE— They  obviate  concussions  to  stumps.   The  sponge  rubber  foot  affords  a  yielding 
medium  to  walk,  run,  jump,  or  alight  upon  without  jarring. 


WANf 


Ni 


.w  Zealand.— In  1892  you  forwarded  to  me  an  artificial  le^  for  my  son.  It 
has  given  the  greatest  satisfaction.   My  son  has 
worn  it  continuously  ;  he  can  do  all  sorts  of  work  : 
he  can  walk  all  day  in  a  rough  country  and  never 
become  sore  or  lame.    He  has  jumped  ten  flights  of 
hurdles  3  ft.  3  in.  high  in  120  yards.    I  have  seen  him 
jump  a  standard  wire  fence.— C.  M.TAYLOR. 
BECAUSE— The  method  of  fitting  and  construction 
prevent  chafing  and  abrading. 
Ottawa,  Ohio.— The  leg  which  I  purchased  from 
you  for  my  daughter  has  been  worn  constantly. 
When  she  received  the  leg  it  was  a  perfect  fit.  My 
^Baauwii^iifc^^^'^&iKS^^  ti        .    daughter  put  it  on  and  wore  it  to  school  the  first 
ifc  1  ,^Qr '  ft  LI?:'-       day.    The  stump  has  never  been  chafed  or  sore, 

f I  I       '■     Respectfully,  J.  S.  CARTWRIGHT.  C.  E. 

^tanrimS^ .^^^.^ H BECAUSE-They  are  noiseless.    The  absence  of 

complicated  ankle  articulations  removes  abso- 
lutely the  tell-tale  thud,  thump  and  fiop  which 
are  the  most  objectionable  features  of  all  other 
artificial  legs. 

.  ,   ^  — II  iiiimtfiiii —       " ]Mr.  Marks  makes  absolutely  the  best  artificial 

"  ^***««*''*     'mumm  jg^g  j  have  ever  seen.   The  core  of  the  foot  is  cov- 

WFW  ered  with  India  rubber,  so  that  from  the  instep  to 

the  toes  and  back  to  the  heel  of  the  foot  is  simply  solid  spring  rubber.  The  elasticity  of 
the  toes  and  heel  compensates  for  the  absence  of  ankle  motion,  and  in  walking  there  is 
none  of  the  jarring  'dot  and  go  one '  walk  so  characteristic  of  the  jointed  foot."— DR.

By  the  aid  of  Ditman*^  Sea  Salt,"  which  is  now  furnished  in  large  or 
small  packages  and  at  very  moderate  price,  the  benefits  of  the  ocean  bath  can  be  brought 
to  our  homes.  By  dissolving  this  article  in  water  we  have  exactly  the  fluid  in  which  we 
immerse  ourselves  when  we  take  a  surf  bath.  The  tonic  and  remedial  effects  of  true  sea 
water  on  many  varieties  of  disease  are  so  well  known  that  it  is  unnecessary  here  to  enlarge 
on  them.  For  all  who  are  weak,  rheumatic,  nervous  or  dyspeptic  the  salt  bath  at  home 
possesses  qualities  so  excellent  that  its  use  should  be  universal.  This  preparation.  ""Sea 
Salt,"  has  not  only  attained  universal  popularity,  but  is  so  thoroughly  endorsed  by  the 
medical  profession  that  no  family  need  for  a  moment  hesitate  to  give  it  a  cordial  home 
welcome.

IN  CHAIR,  WOODENWEAR,  TIMBER  JOINING,  AND  METAL  AND  STONE  WORK. 
The  Aufrer  sliown  bores  a  liole  in  wood,  stone  or  metal  and  then  enlarges  it  at  the  bottom, 
as  exhibited  in  cut.  A  conical  piece  is  then  placed  in  the  enlarged  bottom,  and  the  chair- 
rung  or  any  tenon  is  driven  down  on  the  cone.  The  wood  is  split  up  a  short  distance, 
and  thus  forced  into  the  enlarged  bottom,  making  it  impossible  to  be  withdrawn.  NO

1897  HUHBLER  CYCLES. 

The  high  repute  HUMBER  QuALITY 
now  enjoys  m  this  country,  and  the  firm 
attitude  taken  by  Humber  &  Co.,  America, 
Ltd.,  regarding  the  mamtenance  d  prices, 
naturally  enlists  the  interest  of  the  entire 
cycle  trude  of  the  country,  as  well  as  the 
general  cvchng  public  regarding  HUMBER 
prices,  HUMBER  models,  and  HUMBER 
business  policy  for  the  coming  year. 

HUMBER  Cycles  have  been  made  in  Eng- 
land for  nearly  twenty  nine  years,  and  in 
this  country  for  two  yea  rs.  Every  mechan- 
ical experiment  that  thoroughly  trained 
experience  could  suggest,  has  been  applied 
in  the  effoit  to  produce  HUMBER  Cycles 
of  unapproachable  quality  at  a  figure  some- 
what approximating  the  prices  of  Amer- 
ican grades.  There  is  a  point,  however, 
where  experiment  is  brought  face  to  face 
with  hard,  logical  facts  as  inflexible  in 
their  application  almost  as  Divine  Law. 
The  mechanical  appliances  used  for  cheap- 
ening processes  in  making  wheels  lowers  in 
price  than  HUMBER8,  are  not  available  in 
making  so  pertect  a  machine  as  the  HUM- 
BER. Besides  this,  there  are  a  large  num- 
ber of  details  entering  into  the  production 
of  HUMBER  quality  that  are  expen- 
sive, but  necessary.  Every  mechanic  pos- 
sessing the  intelligence  and  sRill  of  those 
employed  in  HUMBER  factories,  will  read- 
ily appreciate  the  slow,  painstaking  care 
necessary  through  every  process  of  manu- 
facturing so  high-class  a  piece  of  machinery 
as  the  HUMBER  Cycle.  It  is  a  piece  of 
mechanism  such  as  only  could  be  the  fruit- 
age of  consummate  mechanical  ability  ap- 
plied under  the  direction  of  highly  intel- 
ligent experts. 

In  fixing  prices  for  1897  models  of  their 
famous  cycles,  Humber  &  Company  find 
thpmselves  compelled  as  a  result  of  their 
two  seasons'  experience,  to  make  a  slight 
advance  over  the  prices  they  have  hereto- 
fore placed  on  their  wheels. 

HUMBER  QUALITY  is  the  first  consid- 
eration with  them,  and  to  maintain  such 
quality  they  must  obtain  better  prices. 
Strict  adherence  to  the  promptings  of 
sound  business  judgment  would  require  a 
still  greater  advance  than  they  have 
adopted :  but  they  have  endeavored  to 
compromise  so  far  as  practicable  in  ju>tice 
to  themselves  and  the  mass  of  consumers. 
Following  are  the  prices  for  each  1897 
model  of  HUMBERS  : 

Roadster  S115.00 

Tourist    117  50 

Lady  HUMBER..    122.50 

Racer   150.00 

Road  Tandem   180.00 

Combination  Tandem   190.00 

These  prices  will  be  infiexibly  main- 
tained. To  insure  this  policy  every  HUM- 
BER agent  will  be  required  to  sign  a  Guar- 
antee Bond  that  he  will  not.  under  any  cir- 
cumstances, sell  1897  HUMBER8  for  less 
than  the  above  listed  prices.

Manufacturer  of  New  Patent 


Artlflclal  Limbs  and  Appliances  app^pyed_and  scientific.construction 


ankle  movements. 


Legs  and  Feet  with  Duplex,   lateral,  and  single 
Arms  and  Hands  with  full  finger,  wrist,  and  elbow  movement. 

These  artificial  limbs  have  the  most  per- 
fect movable  joints.   They  are  the  strongest, 
lightest,  and  most  durable.  Their  recommen- 
dation by  eminent  surgeons  as  superior,  and 
their  many  severe  tests  of  from  five  to  ten 
years'  wear,  have  proven  them  to  be  the  very 
best  in  use.   Their  merits  stand  forth  both  at 
home  and  abroad,  backed  with  an  unparalleled 
list  of  awards  of  gold,  silver,  and  bronze 
medals;  nineteen  local,  and  seven  inter- 
national awards  of  the  highest  honor,  includ- 
ing first  premium  at  World's  Fair,  Chicago, 
1893,  and  gold  medal  at  Mid-Winter  Exposition  at  San  Francisco,  1894. 
Also  Appliances  for  Shortened  and  Deformed  Limbs. 
All  persons  who  are  able  to  walk  on  crutches  can,  by  means  of  these  latest  inventions, 
conceal  their  deformity,  and  in  most  cases  walk  without  even  the  aid  of  a  cane. 

I  also  wish  to  state  that  I  am  the  original  inventor  of  the 
Artificial  foot  extension,  for  shortened  limbs,  which  I  intro- 
duced in  1872,  cuts  of  which  are  herewith  shown.  Beware  of 
imitators. 

Showing  how  neatly  the  ex- 
tension will  dress.  The  dotted 
lines  sliow  the  position  of  the 
trousers,  giving  the  foot  a 
perfectly  natural  appearance. 

[ESTABLISHED,  1866. 

Illustrated  Catalogue  free  to  those  in  need  of  our

Showing  how  the  extension 
is  applied,  giving  uniform 
bearing  the  whole  length  of 
the  foot.  These  appliances  are 
suitable  for  either  sex.

THE    QUICKEST  WAY 

of  getting  over  the  ground  is  to  sit  still  and  use  the  Telephone.   A  metallic
